$5.5 Million Secured for New UJO Headquarters

By Y.M. Lowy

Today, the UJO received $5.5 million in capital funds for the construction of the new United Jewish Organizations headquarters at 498 Bedford Avenue.

The funds, provided through the combined efforts of Rabbi Moshe Duvid Niederman of the UJO, New York City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams, Councilmember Jennifer Gutierrez, Councilmember Chi Osse and Councilman Restler, will go toward the full construction of the long-anticipated headquarters. Building is scheduled to begin this summer and is expected to take approximately two years.

The funding check was officially presented, marking a significant milestone. The new facility will enhance UJO’s community services to support Williamsburg and the wider community.
